The Coalition is bringing a playable demo of Gears of War 4 and “some special surprises” to PAX East 2016

PAX East 2016 is a little over three weeks away, and The Coalition has announced their plan to host a pair of Gears of War 4 presentations as part of the east coast’s largest gaming convention.

First, the developer will host the Gears eSports ESL Pro League Season 2 Finals on Saturday, April 23. Fans who can’t make it to Boston are encouraged to watch along at home through the Gears of War Twitch Channel. They’ll get a chance to see the best Gears teams in the country compete for the championship, and they’ll witness the debut of a brand new competitive game mode for Gears of War 4.

Then, on Sunday, April 24, The Coalition will take over the Albatross Theater at 10:30 AM (Eastern Time) for a multiplayer-focused panel known as “Out of the Shadows: Inside Gears of War Multiplayer.” The panel will feature a “deeper dive” into Gears 4’s multiplayer along with “some special surprises.” Like the ESL Pro League Finals, the “Out of the Shadows” panel will be streamed live on the Gears of War Twitch Channel.

Finally, a playable demo of Gears of War 4’s multiplayer Versus mode will be available at the Xbox booth all weekend long.
